Answer to Question 1

A
In magnification, the patient overestimates the significance of undesirable events. Stimuli are embellished with meaning not supported by objective analogies. The remaining answers list other types of cognitive distortions that often accompany maladaptive eating responses.

Answer to Question 2

C
Many observations can be made during other aspects of the nursing assessment, and specific questions can be blended into the general flow of the interview. Planning to compare results requires the assumption that more than one assessment will be conducted. This examination requires input from the patient that is best secured when the patient-nurse relationship has been established.
